    Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”

    Removing Copilot wasn’t unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.

      i believe you’re on to something, with the thought that removing it wasn’t unintentional…

      i am willing to bet it was deliberate, but as a way to catch more users who refuse to upgrade from Win10 BECAUSE of Copilot. once they get more users to adopt, they simply put it back in, in one of their updates

      "But imagine that in a decade maximum, your computer would have full conscience and be like Torment Nexus from the hit novel series “Don’t Build the Torment Nexus”.

    Will be hard to argue that it cannot be removed, like they did with internet exploder…

              Not to my knowledge, no*. Though it’s been a while since I looked into it.

              * Outside of running them inside a Windows VM on Linux, but that has its own issues. Especially if you use any of the CC apps that need GPU acceleration. It can definitely be done, but I’d argue most people are not going to want to go through the effort and rather just use Windows directly.

                Yup, I’m sticking to my current setup. When windows 11 gets forced unto me I’ll probably switch to linux and buy a beefy mac for adobe.

    Honestly this sounds like a veteran MS dev who wanted to ensure he had a good ISO build of windows to install without AI shit down the line after he retired. Props to whatever MS dev (or devs) made this happen

    This is like a vet telling me they accidentally removed a life threatening tumor in my dog while doing something else.

    Like damn not sure how you did that by accident but wait what don’t try to put it back what the hell?

    Also did you just put ads INSIDE MY DOG? What the hell is wrong with you?

      Completely unrelated segue, but your comment reminded me of this one vet appointment I had with my dog.

      He was in for having his teeth cleaned, and came out with his claws trimmed. They managed to cut into his quick on five claws. I don’t even know how they managed to do that, I don’t do that and I don’t have the advantage of him being sedated when I clip them. Then they had the absolute gall to charge me for trimming his claws.

      To top it all off; I had an appointment booked with the groomer next-door a couple of days after that so their “service” was unwarranted and unwelcome.

      Not your dog, you only own the license to have them as a pet and it can be withdrawn at any time.
